About Training
Introduction to FLNG / FSRU Technology 2014 is a comprehensive 2 day program designed to familiarize participants with the development and maturation of Floating LNG solutions, with a focus on real world solutions and actual projects. As LNG enters its 6th decade of global trading, innovative solutions are continually advancing as market participants seek to enhance value and fully monetize natural gas assets in an ever more competitive environment.
Being the traditional core region of the LNG business, South East Asia is the location of the majority of proposed and currently operating offshore LNG industry development. Southeast Asia is particularly unique with its multi-market focus on LNG import, export and domestic distribution, making up-to-date LNG awareness and experience based FLNG / FSRU training essential to LNG and Marine businesses and stakeholders in the region.
The program provides a comprehensive overview of both floating LNG (FLNG) and floating storage and regasification units (FSRU). The role and function of offshore LNG and its place in the LNG value chain is strongly emphasized along with practical operational aspects and technological solutions at the deck plate level.
This 2 day course has been designed with a flexible curriculum and subject matter that can accommodate project development and operations staff with a need for design, engineering and technological insights as well as office and executive staff who need to understand the “big picture” economics, regulatory aspects and business strategies related to FLNG projects.
Beginning with a walk through of “LNG 101” and the LNG value Chain, participants will learn:
- Overview of the LNG Value Chain and the Role of Oshore LNG.
- Economics Of The Global Gas Market: Where Does FLNG Fit In?
- Keeping FLNG real: Examination of current and proposed projects.
- Key Technical Challenges In Adapting LNG Technologies For Oshore.
- LNG Containment Systems Key Considerations.
- Offshore LNG Transfer Systems: Ship To Ship Transfer Congurations, Limits, Equipment.
- Overview of Current and Planned FSRU Projects.
- Designing an FSRU: What Are the Key Issues to Address?
- The Unique Regulatory Challenges Of FLNG: Critical Safety Issues, Risk Assessment; Technolog Choices, Operational Issues.
- New Technologies And Innovations For The FSRUs Of The Future – What Is The Likely Shape Of The Next Generation Of FSRUs?
- In Depth Analysis Of The Stranded Gas Fields Available Globally. Which Will Be Suitable For FLNG Projects? What Are The Crucial Considerations?
Training Objectives
By the end of this course you will:
- Understand the LNG value chain and its application to FLNG / FSRU project economics
- Appreciate commercial aspects and nancial considerations of dierent types, scales and locations of FLNG projects.
- Be familiar with the current state of FLNG / FSRU development: what has been built, what is proposed and the lessons learned applicable to next generation FLNG / FSRU projects.
- Understand basic design concept of FLNG / FSRU projects, design and engineering requirements and maintenance/inspection philosophies of oshore LNG.
- Be equipped to realistically assess oshore LNG Project criteria, key performance indicators, project costs, LNG production, project execution risks and applicable HSE issues.
- Understand FLNG / FSRU safety, emergency shutdown, re and gas detection, novel aspects and application in LNG transfer, conceptual system design.

Instructor
Robert W Kamb Jr.
Robert (Bob) W Kamb Jr.(USA) has been involved in the LNG business for nearly 4 decades. During his 15 year career sailing on LNG Carriers, he was responsible for the safe loading, carriage and discharge of 180 cargos totaling over 22 million cubic meters of LNG. Upon coming ashore in 2000, Bob applying his knowledge of LNG marine operations as a consultant to BG LNG, Sea River Maritime, National Grid, SPT Offshore and Excelerate Energy.
In January of 2012, he was named Managing Partner of Mystic River Partners LLC providing expert solutions to a diverse range of marine operations challenges. His most recent work includes LNG marine operations advice for shipping companies and Energy Major FLNG, FSRU and shore based projects, business development and LNG marine transportation solutions for US companies exploring the small scale and LNG fuel market and as a contributor to the IGF correspondence group developing international LNG fueling standards for the IMO.
Bob’s 30 plus years of experience in the LNG marine industry have given him a strong grasp of LNG operations from the deck plates to the C-suite, which he uses to provide practical, relevant, real world training, knowledge and advice. He is a graduate of the Massachusetts Maritime Academy with a BS (Honors) in Marine Transportation. Bob holds a USCG license as Master, Unlimited, and has presented on LNG as a Marine Fuel at numerous conferences and seminars in the US and abroad.
